I eventually sent it back and I just use my huge Inspiron 9300 (17") screen when I need to do some tuning. Finally bought a power inverter from Frys and it is now useful in the car again!
I do think sometimes a bigger laptop is better for tuning in a car. It's sitting in the pax seat most of the time anyway. I bought the netbook to take on flights and use around the house too. Frank |
So 1024x600 isnt enough to be able to tune? I used 1024x768 for years on my old computer and 17'' monitor. Cant see how a netbook wouldnt be able to run something like megatune because of the resolution.

Fmowry... You do make a good point about the screen being adjustable to make everything fit on the 1000-series netbooks by Asus. I'm just a little concerned about shock resistance and such as I plan to use it around the track to datalog and tune based on my Innovate LC-1 readings. Also, concerned about it running the Microtech and Innovate software at the same time. Hopefully the 2GB RAM I ordered will help with that. Guess we will see.

Here's a shot of MT running on the EeePC 1000 I bought for my sister. As you can see, it fits perfectly: http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/...gm_e0f0d90.jpg It works just as well on the 800x480 display of the Eee701 and the 1024x600 display of the 901. You can simulate it on your own machine by just scaling down the Megatune window to the appropriate size.

Good. I would have been a bit pissed if I found out for what ever reason it didnt scale correctly. Should make a sleak and kick ass computer for tuning. Black glossy case to store in the passanger seat rear pocket while not used.

Best laptop out of everything listed so far. It rides in the trunk and I charge it once a month. |
Joe, thanks for the uber-informative post! Glad that someone else has a little familiarity with the 1000H Asus'... Thanks again!

HP Pavilion dv9000 running Windows 7 Beta and XP
It's a 17" monster, but it goes with me nearly everywhere (school, work, home) anyways, so why not? |
I finally got my own laptop it's Toshiba A45 s120.
Got it for free from a lady I work with, she couldnt figure out was wrong with it so she gave it to me. New HDD and upgraded to 2GB ram for about $100 Also bought a serial to usb adapter Now all it needs is some WIFI action. |

Awesome! Glad to see somebody finally got one of the newer Fujis. How do you like the numeric & cursor keys section on the right? That's the one thing I've always felt would make mine complete.

Found myself an on-screen keyboard, just in case. |

Tuning with the LT C-500 is great. It's plenty fast for tuning and logging. MLV is slower but works unless you run for an hour. It would be nice if the keypad was backlit for tuning when it's dark (interior lights don't work in my car).
